Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is becoming a common form of shoulder arthroplasty that is often performed in the setting of rotator cuff pathology. Infection is a rare complication but is more common in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty than in hemiarthroplasty or anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. We present the case of a 69-year-old patient with a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty...

UNLABELLED Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has well known indications and good to excellent results are described in the literature. When the arthroplasty fails however, revision remains a technical challenge with many questions unanswered. To analyse retrospectively and consecutively the indications and results of primary RTSA-revision. All patients that underwent revision RTSA bet...

Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty is used in massive rotator cuff tears, it also proximal humerus fractures and revision. In this study, we aimed to examine the early radiological clinical results of patients undergoing with different diagnoses. Between 2010 2013, was applied 10 (4 men, 6 women) diagnosis arthropathy due tear (n: 7), multi-fragmentary fracture 2) hemiarthroplasty revision ...

BACKGROUND Anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) for glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) and severe posterior glenoid wear may entail early postoperative complications (recurrence of posterior subluxation, glenoid loosening). To avoid these mechanical problems, reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has recently been proposed, mainly for its intrinsic stability. Our purpose was to present the ...

background: malnutrition has been linked to poor outcomes after elective joint arthroplasty, but the risk of unplanned postoperative intensive care unit (icu) admission in malnourished arthroplasty patients is unknown. methods: 1098 patients were followed as part of a prospective risk stratification program at a tertiary, high-volume arthroplasty center. chronic malnutrition was defined as preo...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to analyze national and institutional trends in shoulder arthroplasty utilization by race. METHODS The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was analyzed to determine racial trends in shoulder arthroplasty utilization nationally. An institutional database was then utilized to retrospectively identify all patients undergoing shoulder arthr...

BACKGROUND Chondrolysis has been reported as a sequela of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Although the causes have yet to be fully elucidated, basic science and clinical evidence suggest a multifactorial origin. Surgical treatment in young patients with glenohumeral chondrolysis is particularly challenging, with little outcome data. HYPOTHESIS Glenohumeral chondrolysis has several causes and p...

Shoulder arthroplasty is a technically demanding procedure to restore shoulder function in patients with severe osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. The modern prosthetic system exploit the benefits of modularity and the availibility of additional sizes of the prosthetic components. In this paper we describe the biomechanics of shoulder arthroplasty and the technique for shoulder replaceme...
